Unauthorized subscription to MTN Play

Unauthorized subscription to MTN Play I received an sms from number ********** 86 stating that I am subscribed to CR7 Lifestyle @ R3 per day. 1st day free. At no point did I ever click on a link, or subscribe for this service. When I phoned your call centre, I was told to follow the following link to unsubscribe: *141*5# manage content services. I have done this, but received another sms that my subscription service has been renewed for another week. Link to unsubscribe *464*970#.

Good day Marietha,

Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns and affording us the opportunity to address the same. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please note that there are different content charges. One way of removing them is by dialing *136# and follow the MTN play option until you get to manage subscriptions. The second way to remove the said charge is by logging on to your browser from your device. I have attached the below instructions in order to remove the charge:

Q - How do I cancel a subscription?
Visit the ‘My Subscriptions’ category under ‘My MTN Play’ at WWW.MTNPLAY.CO.ZA on your mobile device. Select the subscription and deactivate.

Kind regards,

Ishie.

Complaints Management Team.

Best regards,

MC

This still does not explain how I was registered for this service in the first place. Will MTN be refunding the money charged?
